The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Higher yield with VBIL. Any other advantages/disadvantages?

The advantage with SPAXX at Fidelity is that it can be set as your default cash balance holding. Money moves into and out of SPAXX automatically without any effort on your part.

For smallish sums of money, not much difference between the two.
$10,000 for 1 year earns $423 vs. $396.

If you are wanting to put away money for as long as a year, just go to the source. Buy & rollover short term T-Bills directly from the Treasury.
Recent 4 & 8 week T-bills came out at 4.354% & 4.271%. That's $436 & $427.
